Histopathological findings after radiofrequency (RITA) treatment for prostate cancer

[Radiofrequency interstitial tumor ablation (RITA) for the treatment of localised prostate cancer].

Radiofrequency ablation produces an irreversible destruction of prostate tissue since it reaches temperatures of 110 degrees C that leads the tumour into coagulative necrosis and, based on preliminary studies, it has shown to be a safe therapeutical alternative for localised prostate cancer. It is a non-invasive technique with scarce complications which is especially attractive for those patien...

Prostate-specific antigen kinetics after hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer

Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...

Treatment of metastatic prostate cancer after STAMPEDE

tau.amegroups.com © Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. Over decades, long-term hormone therapy has been considered as the standard of care (SOC) for men with advanced prostate cancer. The problem is that several months after the commencement of treatment, tumors become castration-resistant and virtually all patients show disease progression. In 2004, two randomized Phase ...

Pelvic MRI findings in relapsed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Little is known about the clinical impact of using multiparametric MRI to plan early salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and location of recurrence based on pelvic multiparametric MRI findings and to identify clinical variables predictive of positive imaging results. MATERIALS AND METHODS We defined radiological criteria of lo...
